Hey Tigerfan, well I missed your reply a long time ago, so if you happen to see this here's the answer:

The game does it sequentially. So, within the nation, it first looks to state populations to determine how many should be from each state. Then, within the state, it looks to city data. So--you can at least get players at a correct proportion by state, but the cities will not be accurately represented unless you update all of those populations -- something I may very well do (albeit slowly).

Here's an updated thread on this:
